I am planning to deploy BEAT log shippers on the end points for data collection. I am trying to find information around the overhead that these shippers might have on the system resources (CPU, Memory etc.). Do we have any calculation around that ?

Thanks  
Sanjeev

The usage heavily depends on how much logs you have per second, multiline or not and many other variables. There is no "lookup" table for this. I strongly recommend it to test it in your environment.
